HSL Book Deal of the Day 5.8.17: The Daughter of Time

There are so many reasons to love this book, but let's start with the fact that it turns history into what it really is: a mystery that we're always piecing together as we discover new information. A police detective is stuck in bed recuperating from an injury and, sparked by a sympathetic portrait, decides to examine the case against the notorious Richard III, whose alleged crimes include the murders of his own young nephews. It's fascinating and makes a great companion-piece to your medieval history/Wars of the Roses studies or a jumping-off point for conversations about textbook history is constructed. A great deal on a great read.
